GBAToad is an Australian user on the Super Mario Wiki and the Super Mario Boards. He joined the wiki on April 23, 2013, has since contributed plenty of inane Mario-related edits. He is currently inactive on the wiki, but is occasionally active on the forums.

History

Super Mario Wiki

In late 2010, GBAToad found the wiki when searching for information on the latest Mario releases, and like any other lurker, continued using the wiki for finding info on other games long afterward. In 2011, GBAToad began reading the wiki's monthly newsletter The 'Shroom after clicking on one of its Fake News articles, and continued to enjoy its weird humor and well-written reviews.

In 2013, he became a user after finally deciding to make an account to edit articles and vote on proposals. On July 4, he was granted the Autopatrol status for his edits, which was later revoked in December due to the rank's repurposing. He still edits the wiki, though not as frequently as when he joined.

The 'Shroom

In early 2014, YoshiKong retired from the wiki and from managing the 'Shroom Spotlight, selecting Yoshi876 and GBAToad as his co-successors. Later that year, he stepped down from the position, leaving Yoshi876 as its sole manager.

Super Mario Boards

GBAToad initially joined the Super Mario Boards to actively participate in wiki collaborations and forum games, but soon fell victim to the overwhelming power of Mindless Junk and hasn't been very productive since. He pointlessly contributes to discussion in multiple threads, and occasionally hosts forum games when he has the time.

Appearance

GBAToad is an ordinary Toad with a Game Boy Advance for a cap, therefore he has all of the powers of a regular Toad, like the ability to make strange choking noises that resemble speech. His only purpose in life is to achieve full generic Toad status. He can, however, summon Captain Wiki when united with Edo, Mason, Smasher and MCD, though this has only happened once and will likely never happen again.

GBAToad's cap is fully functional and comes in two varieties: the detailed GBA shape and the rounder edition that's much easier to draw. There is a bit of debate as to how the GBA cap actually works, but most seem to believe you shove GBA cartridges into his mouth in order to play games on it. This is confirmed to be true by Neptune in Dragon Problem.
